Build your portfolio site

Learning goal

Publish a simple, fast portfolio site that shows your thinking.

Estimated time

40 minutes · self-paced

Warm-up

What would a hiring manager look for in 90 seconds?

Main lesson

Structure that works

Home (who you are + stack) → 4–6 projects → about → contact. Each project: problem, process, artefacts, results, reflection.

  • Lead each project with the problem, not the tool
  • Show artefacts (analysis, storyboard, build)
  • Include one live demo link
  • Keep load times fast and images compressed

Tools

example

Any platform works: a simple site builder, Notion, or a Google Site. Content quality beats platform choice.

Examples from practice

  • — A five-page portfolio built in one evening in Notion.

Interactive quiz

What should lead each project page?

Reflection

Which project best represents the designer you want to be?

Daily challenge

Publish the site, even if two projects are still drafts.

Portfolio task

Add the portfolio URL to your journey profile.
